Unite Warriors Devastator takes the already-amazing Combiner Wars Devastor and makes it even better. The construction-equipment modes are the first thing you see after opening the box (which, sadly, doesn’t have the magnetic display flap previous UW figures did).  They are all suitably large and bulky, especially Long Haul, who all-but dwarfs the others in […]

Carl Barks’ most famous character, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, diving through his beloved treasure. As always, a 3D version of this video is available on my YouTube channel.  Ever seen Uncle Scrooge in 3D?  Here’s your chance!

30 years in the making, the best Lego set EVER…if you’re really into Ghostbusters.  Otherwise, it’s just awesome. As always, a 3D version of this video is available on my channel.

Tried some new lighting and editing effects here.  Not super happy with the outcome…but better than my previous attempt at a G1 Prime video. As always, the 3D version is available on my channel.

An amazing…but incredibly frustrating Transformers model kit, almost perfectly representing Optimus Prime as he appeared in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. As always, the 3D version is available on my channel.

The very first Transformers toy I bought after moving to Japan! As always, the 3D version is available on my YouTube channel! Happy hobbying!

Some all-new Hobby Drifter “review” videos are on the way!  But this time, rather than listen to me drone on about the stuff that’s right in front of you, I’m going to let the videos speak for themselves.  The stuff is presented in full HD (and in 3D for anybody who has the newest version […]

There are people who think that, when you live in (or around) Tokyo, you’ll never be short of things to do.  I know.  I was one of them.  But it’s amazing how quickly one can fall into a rut.  I spent the first month here travelling all over the place.  Walking, buses, trains, taxis, even […]

I don’t know why, but Japan gets all the best Star Wars swag.  From Real Action Heroes to Hot Toys to whatever awesome stuff Bandai’s putting out, the Land of the Rising Sun is a great place for merch from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Here’s a set of uniquely-Japanese […]

Everybody’s talking about the new Power/Rangers unauthorized short film.  I saw it.  I thought it was fun.  I wasn’t super thrilled to envision my childhood heroes winding up like that, but it was a compelling bit of fan film goodness, from a guy who has done wonders with the Punisher, Venom, and Judge Dredd. But […]
